Belial 03:54
Gnostic fire engulf me, grant me entrance to the flames Ancient sand shed me from this skin, defiling soil mold me through lust and sin Chanting forbidden words To praise my unholy birth I hail Belial! Prince of our dying world Expanding horizon, his kingdom shall come Banish the false light from Helios formed Open up my veins, presenting my blood His earthly vessel I shall now become The sunken temples hidden from us Erects once again as the scorpion is called The purest form of chaos from the first son shall fall We are but her children - The Mother of All!

Through me you pass into the city of woe: Through me you pass into eternal pain: Through me among the people lost for aye Justice the founder of my fabric moved: To rear me was the task of power divine, Supremest wisdom, and primeval love Supremest wisdom, and primeval love Before me things create were none Save things Eternal, and eternal I endure All hope abandon ye who enter here All hope abandon ye who enter here Such characters in color dim I marked Over a portal's lofty arch inscribed: Whereat I thus: Master, these words import

Caught in a web of frustration - Caged in the flesh of mortality Chained to their laws of creation - I swear defiance to the Demiurge So close...but yet so far away Turning inwards to implode, I must die to be reborn No more bounds to the tree of life, I belong on the shadowy side Secret knowledge of Qlippoth seeps through as I'm cutting my roots to Malkuth! Growing beyond Constantly shifting form Evolved Omnipotent! Always follow as the blind Sheppard leads Mindless beings so useless, so naive I have grown far beyond this existence I swear allegiance to Thaumiel! Thaumiel!

Your deathlike eyes are starring into empty space Demonic possession, a legion roams inside you now Your own flesh hangs from your nails to replace emotional pain There aren't no prayers to save your soul from infernal bounds Turn into the usher of madness No more than a vessel for darkness to prevail Your own parish is doomed to unholy enslavement As you are left helplessly insane In the halls of the fiery serpent uncertainty awaits A spiraling path that leads to abysmal torment Lethal wounds releasing blood still you won't find peace from life A catatonic prison is your destined path A horrendous sight of withered whores who once shined in angels gold Haunts your mind destroys your soul and cast you down into the void From yourself there's no escape - From this fact your soul reshapes The malignancy will feed upon yourself loathing pain Emotionally torn apart hallucinations rules you now Your nightmarish realm unleash itself upon the world Usher of madness! Usher of madness! Usher of madness! Usher of madness!
5.
A lone wanderer who drags a trail of death with him Cold fire of solice, silently it burns within Entity of uncreation, faceless bringer of the end At dawn you see a sundown and it shall never rise again! Again! Again! A world cleansed from the filth - chaos rides upon the storm Time has ceased to exist - the prophesy is now fulfilled Crowned in the darkness that surrounds him - he feasts his eyes on the dead Snow buries their remains now - and the nothingness will spread!

Casus Belli 02:22
Ravens came with the message of your impending doom At the halls of creation the corruption unfolds A stellar path of destruction from the herald that scorn Their contempt nourish hatred for the light bringers war March onwards to war leave nothing but death in your wake Burn the angelic whores on the altar of ceremonial pyre Plague and disease shall ravage the remaining creations Purge the astral light and strike at the heart of existence I beheld as it crumbled, everything fell apart It was like failing contractions of an angst ridden heart The aftermath of the battle speaks of abhorrent acts But it will all be forgotten as our empire thrives

First Moloch, horrid King besmeared with blood Of human sacrifice, and parents tears Though, for the noise of drums and timbrels loud Their children's cries unheard that passed through fire To his grim Idol Fires of Moloch Him the Ammonite worshipped in Rabba and her watery plain In Argob and in Basan, to the stream of utmost Arnon Nor content with such audacious neighborhood the wisest heart of Solomon He led by fraud to build his temple right against the Temple of God On that opprobrious hill And made his Grove the pleasant Valley of Hinnom, Tophet thence and black Gehenna called The type of Hell
8.
So many questions yet no answers to be found Thee who read this conceived it as madness or lies This work was not meant for the sight of mortal eyes But for those who are able to see darkness in light I drink the sordid water from the chalice of sin I breath nocturnal fire I am the dragon's kin Infused by the unholy essence, draconian blood course in my veins The blackened shroud of immortality is now mine to possess! False are thee who preach redemption cause there is none here to be found You are no more than vermin to useless morals you are bound I am a falling star spawned out of Death's grimoire I leave my mark as wormwood which means the end of life! Death's grimoire written in angelic blood!

Thelema, Xeper, Deitus, I have willed to come into being as a god This is the law of the Aeon of Lucifer, this is the law of the Aeon By Thelema and by Xeper I have attained Deitus I have spoken the word of the Aeon and become Magus of the Aeon of Lucifer Dark Lord consecrate this work which I begin this night Until I have become a god upon the earth Sanctify me in the waters of the abyss that I may rise up Reborn in the image of Satan and go forth into the world as a living demon in the flesh Dark Lord, you have awakened me from death and given me life As you have given me life, I dedicate this life to thy service Receive my life as your own that we may become one in body, mind, and soul Accept my life as a sacrifice to thy might and thy grandeur To the glory of the infernal empire and to the majesty of the infernal king He, who shall reign forever upon the earth I shall pass through the abyss unharmed Wearing a black halo and a diadem of blood upon my brow! I shall ride upon a nightmare with hellhounds before me Exalted by the glory of the Dark Lord, the king of all being
